[SOLVED] Vault missing items

[Kactux]

After a recent update my Vaults directory doesn't mount. It is there but no directories or files are in it and it won't mount. When I unlock and open and enter password it says Folder is Empty and the mount doesn't show up in dolphin's directory tree under devices.

Kubuntu 23.04 x86_64
Host: MS-7693 4.0
Plasma 5.27.4
Kernel: 6.2.0-33-generic

Not a lot of info anywhere online how to fix this but I can tell you I will never run Plasma Vaults again or at least not put anything important in a vault.

Solved it. I used cryfs from the command line to find the error:

crashed: Deserialization failed - missing nullbyte for string termination

I then found a solution post from Zesko on Manjaro support which fixed it by deleting ~/.local/share/cryfs

Here's how:

1. Do backup of your encrypted data first.
2. Delete or move the broken cryfs:

$ mv ~/.local/share/cryfs ~/Desktop/cryfs_backup
